Re: [RCSE] Need Tool Help-mini-router, dremel, etc.

Scobie,

	Check some of these out:

Foredom Hang up Power Tool Kit (tool, pedal, collets, accessories, etc)
	I saw it in an Airgas/Rutland Tool Catalog, 800 727 9787
	List price $359, sale $279

McCulloch 1/4" Electric Die Grinder #TA841000
	Harbor Freight $59.00 item 41393-1AJH
	www.harborfreight.com or 800 423 2567

Makita 1/4" Electric Die Grinder MKGE0600
	Post Tool $99, 888 767 8866
	www.post-tool.com
	
	The 1/4" tools sometimes come with 1/8" collets or you could make a
sleve for your 1/8" bits. Also if you have an air compressor there are
numerous die grinders and some flexible shaft tools available.
	You may be able to find these elsewhere at better prices though Harbor
Freight is pretty much the low end.

Good luck,
Chris Barker
